At one time Golf Mill Mall was an outdoor mall. I remember getting taken there as a child even during the winter and marvelling at the snow falling in the courtyards and wanting to spend time in the toy stores. At one time, Golf Mill Mall was the place to go and hang out. As I grew up you could go to the movie theater and then hang out at the mall. Those days are long gone.
What are these stores in here anymore? Except for the anchor stores of JC Penney, Sears, Kohls and target, none of the interior stores are ones you have probably heard of. It's kind of like stumbling on Bob's Leather Goods or something. The one store inside I used to like to visit was the Walden Books. The past few times I went there it seemed as if the walls of the store had somehow gotten closer. The selection of books was pathetic.
The movie theater closed and has been turned into some kind of gigantic exercise center after years of deterioration and hiring of surly teenagers. The mall itself is just sad and dying. The addition of Target has brought some life to the place, but generally just around Target and not within the mall itself.
Golf Mill Mall should just become an outlet mall all-together and maybe that can save this place.
